When they went out, they happened to meet Sister Guihua and Aunt Liang.
After Sister Guihua had a general understanding of the situation, she asked Aunt Liang to go over and see if there was any help she could provide.
Wen Nuan thought it would be helpful to have more people to help her, so she asked Aunt Liang to go with her.
Although the weather was cold, many people in the family compound came out to walk around because it was a holiday.
However, compared with the bustling family quarters, the military hospital is much quieter.
Although feudal superstition is not allowed these days, there are still many people who will not go to the hospital on festive days such as Chinese New Year.
Even though this is a place to save lives and heal the wounded, many people still think it is unlucky.
Originally, Gu Qinglan was supposed to work half a day today and have a day off in the afternoon. She would not go back to work until the third day of the New Year.
Just now on the way to the hospital, Gu Qinglan gave them a general idea of the situation.
The person who forced Gu Qinglan to go on a blind date this time was Aunt Liu, the mother-in-law of Director Xu in their department. Aunt Liu also had a son in the army, who was also a regimental-level cadre.
Probably because he often went to the hospital to deliver meals to Director Xu, he got to know Gu Qinglan through these visits.
Gu Qinglan has a nice personality and is pretty. Some gay men have expressed their affection for her before, but after she rejected them, most people would not bother her again.
I didn't expect that Aunt Liu would be so "enthusiastic" that she even directly called the gay man from Beijing, regardless of whether Qinglan agreed or not.
Either way, it doesn't make sense.
Gu Qinglan also said that she had clearly refused, and the other party did not ask any further questions, so she thought it was over. Who knew that something like this would happen.
Isn't this bullying Gu Qinglan, a little girl without parents
Even if they really wanted to introduce a blind date to her, Gu Qinghan and Wen Nuan could make the decision, but Aunt Liu obviously acted first and asked for permission later.
If things go wrong, Gu Qinglan's reputation will be ruined!
Gu Qinglan said: "Brother, sister-in-law, I really rejected Aunt Liu clearly."
However, she and Li Daxiang hadn't made it clear at that time. But even if they had, she wouldn't tell everyone about her private affairs.
She also didn't expect Aunt Liu to do this. She brought the person directly in front of her, as if she wanted to force her to submit.
Wen Nuan was very angry. The more she listened, the more she felt that Aunt Liu must have done it on purpose.
Aunt Liu first said that Qinglan was old, implying that at her age, Gu Qinglan should find a man to marry.
Now they bring that gay man directly here, isn't it just to ask you to submit obediently
If any female comrade had a thick skin, wouldn't she have been completely controlled by her
If Gu Qinglan was really willing to meet that man, Aunt Liu would probably have a lot of arguments to persuade Qinglan to accept this blind date.
This is simply a rogue act of forcing someone to do something unmanageable!
Gu Qinghan knew Wen Nuan was angry, so he quickly held her back and said, "Let me handle it later. Don't be angry. Doctor Zhao said that you can't get angry in the first three months."
Although Wen Nuan looked delicate and gentle, he always knew that she had a bad temper and had her own principles. Although she would not quarrel with an aunt, Gu Qinghan did not want her to get so angry about this matter.
Today was a holiday and she was pregnant. It was bad enough that she had encountered such a thing. If something else happened, he would probably go crazy.
Gu Qinglan, who had been carrying Lele on her back all the way, couldn't help but say after hearing what Gu Qinghan said, "Sister-in-law, please don't argue with those people. Your health is the most important thing now. I can do it myself."
"Besides, my eldest brother is here. We have more people and more power. I don't believe she will really force me."
Gu Qinghan looked at Wen Nuan worriedly and reminded her again: "If anything happens later, let us go first, and you can just stand aside with Lele."
Wen Nuan met the man's worried and domineering eyes and nodded: "I know."
Then she reached out and squeezed the man's warm palm, and said with a smile: "Can it be that with you here, I can still be bullied by others?"
After hearing Wen Nuan's words of trust, the man smiled slightly.
Aunt Liang listened to their words and snorted, "Don't worry, you young people are too shy to scold me, but I'm here for you!"
Originally, Aunt Liang came here with the intention of watching a show, but the more she listened, the angrier she became.
It is really bad to take advantage of a lesbian in this way.
Lele, who was lying behind Gu Qinglan, didn't quite understand what was going on, but when he saw the anxious looks on the adults' faces, he couldn't help but shout, "I'll help my aunt scold, too."
"Just don't be scared and cry, and don't scold me!" Gu Qinglan was amused by her and couldn't help but pat the little guy's butt and said, "Auntie is so tired carrying you all the way, you get off first."
When he put the little guy down, he couldn't help but mutter, "Why does it feel like your little guy has become heavier again?"
Before, Gu Qinglan could carry her from the family quarters to the hospital without feeling tired, but now she was already out of breath before she even reached the hospital.
Lele said with a smile: "That's because I've grown up."
When the little guy smiles, the two red lumps of flesh on his face look fatter, but still super cute.
"You still say that when you grow up you still want your aunt to carry you. Aren't you ashamed?" Gu Qinghan glanced at the child and simply picked her up and walked away.
Gu Qinglan couldn't help but pinch the little guy's face jokingly and said, "You have grown up and gained weight, Xiaozhule."
Lele hugged her father's neck tightly, snorted and turned her head away: "You are Auntie Pig."
Wen Nuan saw that they were making a fuss again, so she urged them, "Stop talking and go over there quickly."
*
When I arrived at the hospital, I actually saw Aunt Liu and a man waiting outside the hospital.
There were also quite a few people watching nearby. I didn't know whether they were people she brought with her or people who were watching the show in the family compound.
As soon as I approached, I heard Aunt Liu complaining loudly: "Hey, what's wrong with lesbians nowadays? I clearly agreed to introduce her to a date, but after saying a word, she just ran away. I've never seen such rude people!"
"Besides, she is just a nurse in a hospital. If she hadn't had a big brother who was the head of a regiment, she would still be an educated youth working in the countryside! Comrade Zhou, whom I introduced to her, is a cadre. How could he not be worthy of her? She is just too picky. No wonder no one wants her even though she is in her twenties!"
Hearing this, before Wen Nuan and the others could get angry, Aunt Liang was the first to rush forward and said angrily, "Oh my, is this Aunt Liu? You can bring people here without saying a word and force a lesbian to meet others, but you don't allow the lesbian to refuse? Others have rejected you, but you still brought people here. Are you bullying a lesbian because she is too thin-skinned?"
Aunt Liu looked to be over sixty years old, with a kind face. When she finally saw Gu Qinglan coming, she said earnestly, "You are not being kind! When I saw Qinglan, she was already in her twenties and still had no boyfriend, I said I would introduce her to someone. She herself said that she couldn't find a suitable one, but if there was one, she would be willing to meet one. How come now it seems like I forced her to do this?"
"Comrade Zhou came all the way from Beijing. He is a respectable man from a respectable family and works at the Beijing Industrial and Commercial Bureau. I think he is worthy of her, right?"
When the onlookers heard this, they immediately took a liking to this young and promising gay man, and they all looked at Gu Qinglan and whispered to each other.
But Aunt Liang took one look at the man surnamed Zhou and immediately got angry. She put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Bullshit, our Qinglan never agreed! What's wrong with being in her twenties? Have you eaten your rice? Does she deserve to be married off to someone you just picked? Have you asked her family for consent?"
Wen Nuan was afraid that Aunt Liang would get angry, so she pulled her arm and said softly, "Aunt, don't get excited."
At the same time, Gu Qinghan also grabbed Gu Qinglan's arm, signaling her not to speak for the time being.
She looked at Aunt Liu, who spoke in a series of pretexts, a typical example of moral blackmail and a naive old woman.
Under the banner of "I'm doing this for your own good", you do things that you like but others find suffocating.
She was almost "sold" by her adoptive parents before. Now Aunt Liu is so "enthusiastic" that it is hard not to suspect that she is doing this in exchange for some benefit.
She must have intended to force Qinglan to surrender at the beginning, but Qinglan was not stupid and ran away directly, so Aunt Liu started to ruin her reputation. Anyway, Qinglan was not around, so she could say whatever she wanted.
By then, Qinglan's reputation as a girl will be ruined, so won't she be forced to get married
Wen Nuan took a look at the so-called respectable gay man next to Aunt Liu. He had an ugly appearance. If he was really so outstanding, would it be worth it for him to come all the way here to find a blind date
The other party seemed to sense Wen Nuan's gaze, and then he lowered his head without saying a word. Seeing him like this, Wen Nuan felt even more disgusted.
Wen Nuan pulled Gu Qinghan beside her and said to him, "Qinghan, go find Political Commissar Li and tell him that there are people making trouble and being hooligans in the hospital. Please ask the chief to help us!"
Gu Qinghan frowned, not feeling comfortable with Wen Nuan being here, but Aunt Liang beside him said, "Don't worry, Deputy Captain Gu, with me here, no one can bully Comrade Wen Nuan."
Gu Qinghan glanced at Wen Nuan, and seeing her look, he decided to go and come back quickly, "I'll go now."
Then he looked at Gu Qinglan and said, "Keep an eye on your sister-in-law."
Aunt Liu's face darkened when she heard Wen Nuan say that. "No, who are you calling a hooligan? When did we act like hooligans? Our Comrade Zhou hasn't even said a word to your Gu Qinglan yet, how can we be called hooligans? Don't think you're great just because you have a man who's the head of the group. Don't smear black on white!"
Being a hooligan is a serious crime these days. The lightest punishment is labor reform, while the worst is being executed directly in a wooden barn.
No one would admit it.
Besides, they really didn't do anything to Gu Qinglan. At most, they just wanted her to obey them.
Seeing Aunt Liu's face flushed, Wen Nuan snorted coldly, "You are going against a woman's will. When Comrade Gu Qinglan has clearly refused, you still force her to introduce someone to someone, and you even brought her directly to the hospital. If this isn't being a hooligan, what is this?"
"You... you're talking nonsense!" Aunt Liu's defense was broken immediately. She showed a serious disdainful look and snorted, "To be honest, I'm doing this for your girl's good. She has nothing to lose in this marriage. Comrade Zhou is still a state cadre. If your Qinglan hadn't relied on your man, she would probably still be working in the countryside, right?"
Aunt Liu knew more or less about Gu Qinglan's background. She was an educated youth who went to the countryside to work. Probably because she was afraid of the hardship, she asked Gu Qinghan to get her into the army.
If she wasn't good-looking and had a good brother and sister-in-law, this marriage wouldn't have been hers!
On the contrary, they used their connections to help Gu Qinglan get out of the identity of an educated youth sent to the countryside through the back door. How could they have the nerve to jump around in front of her
Aunt Liang glanced at the man surnamed Zhou again and sneered, "Even if you don't have a mirror at home, why don't you at least take a piss and look at yourself? It's okay if you're not as tall as our Qinglan, and you're not as pretty as our Qinglan, but you're not worthy of her. We're at a disadvantage, so what?"
Seeing that Qinglan was on the verge of scolding the other person, Wen Nuan grabbed her hand.
Then he looked at the crowd and said in a loud voice: "Did everyone hear it? I see, not only did Aunt Liu bring male comrades here to act like hooligans, she is also a reactionary!"
Anti-reactionary
Aunt Liu was so shocked by this trumped-up charge that her face turned pale.
Not to mention that it is a serious crime outside, and now we are still in the army. Doesn't this mean ruining the military career of the whole family
This this this…
Aunt Liu almost cried, her voice trembling a little: "You, you are slandering me. Our ancestors for eight generations have been glorious farmers and workers. Don't just say nonsense just because you are a military wife!"
Wen Nuan sneered, "Am I slandering you? Tell me, everyone, going to the countryside is a major movement organized by us, but in Aunt Liu's eyes, we have become inferior people who dig for food in the fields? If this is not reactionary, what is it?"
The crowd finally reacted. They all looked at Aunt Liu and started discussing:
"That's not right. The educated youth who went to the countryside are honorable people!"
"They even dare to discriminate against the educated youth who went to the countryside. Their butts are really crooked. Could they be enemy agents?"
"You, you're talking nonsense!" Aunt Liu was really panicked this time, "That's not what I meant at all. It was you who used your connections to bring Gu Qinglan from the countryside to the army. You are abusing your power!"
Gu Qinglan couldn't stand it this time, and stood in front of Wen Nuan, pointing at Aunt Liu and scolding her: "You old woman, you talk about me, why are you talking about my brother and his wife? Do you really think I'm a sick cat that's easy to mess with?"
Gu Qinglan simply rolled up her sleeves and angrily prepared to walk towards Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu saw that the situation was not serious and took a few steps back. However, before Aunt Liu could react, the man next to her who had been silent all this time suddenly rushed over and cursed with gnashing teeth: "Stinky bitch, I came all the way here to have a blind date with you. I am giving you face, but you really think you are a beautiful woman from heaven!"
Then he spat, "Damn it, you are so shameless. You really think I have a good temper, don't you? You fucking bitch, I will beat you to death!"
As he said that, he raised his fist and was about to attack Gu Qinglan.
However, the power of the masses is still strong, and after all, this is the military hospital of the North City Army, and Gu Qinglan is a nurse in the hospital, so naturally everyone helps her.
Especially since most of the people here are women, this man actually dared to take action directly, which simply touched everyone's reverse scale.
Seeing the man taking action, a group of female comrades rushed forward, intending to stop the man's evil behavior.
But the next scene made everyone dumbfounded—
Wen Nuan, a woman with a slender figure, grabbed a wooden stick as thick as a child's arm with both hands. She turned sideways, raised her arm, and hit the man with the ferocious face on the jaw, sending him flying two meters away with a "bang".
When the man fell to the ground, a tooth flew out of his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Gu Qinglan immediately raised one foot and kicked the man. The man immediately curled up and started howling in pain again.
Wen Nuan threw the stick to the ground, patted the dust off her hands, and snorted: "You really think that people in our kitchen are vegetarians!"
In their kitchen, rolling pins are weapons!
Gu Qinglan looked at the scene in front of her, without closing her mouth for a long time, and looked at the warm warmth with admiration!
"Sister-in-law, you are so amazing!"
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "It's OK, but I just didn't dare to give it my all."
She must be taking care of the baby in her belly, so she can't possibly hurt herself because of such a stinky man.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qinglan pulled Wen Nuan up and down, looked her over, and asked her, "Sister-in-law, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
"No, I'm fine." Wen Nuan held her hand and asked, "Did that man hurt you?"
Gu Qinglan shook her head. "He didn't even touch me!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law, I love you so much! Woo woo woo..." As he said that, Gu Qinghan hugged the warm shoulders.
When Gu Qinghan and Political Commissar Li rushed over, they were stunned when they saw the strange man lying on the ground screaming in pain.
When Gu Qinghan heard everyone's discussions and met Wen Nuan's smiling eyes, his worry turned into confusion.
Political Commissar Li on the side joked: "It looks like it's been dealt with, so there's nothing we need to do about it."
Gu Qinghan pursed his lips and said, "Let's go over and take a look."
It will definitely need further processing.
*
When the big leader arrived, the discussion became even louder.
"Comrade Gu is indeed tall and much better looking than that guy. Who is trying to marry someone of his stature?"
"I just don't deserve her. Her elder brother is the head of the regiment, and her elder sister-in-law is Commander Lu's granddaughter!"
"I suspected that this person had ulterior motives from the beginning. Maybe he knew that Comrade Gu's family had connections, so he rushed all the way from Beijing to force him to meet someone. Otherwise, as a cadre with a Beijing hukou, would he worry about not being able to find a partner?"
"That makes it very suspicious. I heard before that Aunt Liu also accepted money from lesbians to introduce people to potential partners. This time she is so enthusiastic to help with the matchmaking. Could it be that she also accepted benefits from this gay man?"
When Aunt Liu heard these people whispering, she started to panic and her face turned pale.
It was indeed because she coveted Zhou's money. She had no job in the staff housing complex and usually liked to introduce young people to each other. If the relationship was successful, everyone would be very good at it and give her, the matchmaker, a small red envelope.
The man named Zhou was even more generous. He gave her a big thumbs-up before the matter was accomplished.
They also said that there would be even more generous rewards after the task was completed. How could one not be tempted
It's just a matter of talking.
Originally, she thought that Gu Qinglan should be easy to control, so even if this matter failed, she would not suffer any loss.
Moreover, she never thought that Gu Qinglan would look down on him. She was also old and must be worried about getting married.
Besides, this Zhou is a cadre after all, and a native of Beijing. Who wouldn’t want to marry into Beijing
Based on these two points, even though this Zhou guy is ugly, he can still be considered a high-quality gay.
She felt annoyed. If she had known, she would not have been greedy for more. Even though Gu Qinglan didn't want to, there were many other female comrades who were willing to do so!
But now that there's been such a commotion, let alone more money, she doesn't know if her son and daughter-in-law's jobs will be affected!
Aunt Liu made up her mind, fell to the ground and fainted.
Everyone was planning to punish the man who was going to hit someone, but Aunt Liu fainted first.
"Oh no, oh no, Aunt Liu fainted."
"Come and save people, someone has been killed!"
Just when everyone was about to move the person to the hospital, Mr. Zhao came out of the hospital wearing a big white coat and shouted, "Don't move her, let me take a look."
Wen Nuan saw the old man coming out and called out with a smile, "Doctor Zhao."
Mr. Zhao subconsciously glanced at Wen Nuan's belly, and said to her in a somewhat reprimanding tone, "Step back a little, and don't be so reckless next time."
Then the old man said to Gu Qinglan: "Go get me some water."
"I have it, I have it!" Gu Qinglan was too lazy to go back to the hospital, so she asked the aunties who were watching for some water, and then handed it to Mr. Zhao.
Gu Qinglan squatted aside, intending to see how Mr. Zhao gave first aid, but the next second she saw the old man holding a cup of water and pouring it directly on Aunt Liu's face.
"Ah—" Aunt Liu jumped up almost at the same time. She no longer looked weak and frail. She cursed fiercely, "Oh my god, I'm freezing to death, I'm freezing to death! Who is so wicked..."
Mr. Zhao handed the cup lid back to Gu Qinglan and said, "Aren't you awake now?"
Everyone watched as Aunt Liu fainted for only three seconds, and suddenly they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Mr. Zhao glanced at Wen Nuan and said, "Come in with me. It's so cold, and you're still making trouble here. What if you get cold?"
Then he looked at Gu Qinglan and said, "You are running around during work hours. Come in too!"
Gu Qinglan stuck out her tongue and said, "Got it. I'll come right away."
After saying that, he picked up Lele, who was sitting by the flower bed eating melon seeds, and followed Mr. Zhao back.
Lele was suddenly picked up and snorted in dissatisfaction: "Aunt, my melon seeds."
"Okay, you little foodie, you're still thinking about melon seeds!" Gu Qinglan patted the little guy's butt and said with a smile, "You don't know how to eat them, what a waste!"
"Give me the melon seeds!"
The little guy covered his pocket and shook his head: "No!"
Mr. Zhao took a few steps and looked back at Gu Qinghan, "Deputy Captain Gu, please deal with the matter and then come in to see me."
When Political Commissar Li saw that the farce was finally over, he said to the soldier beside him, "Go find Zhao Dachui and ask him to come over here. I want to see if he doesn't even care about his old mother during the New Year!"
Zhao Dachui is Aunt Liu's son. When she heard that the political commissar was looking for her son, her legs went limp and she fell to the ground in the snow.
The big tears immediately rolled down like beads that had broken off the string, and she cried miserably, "No, no, no, I will handle anything by myself, don't look for my son!"
When Political Commissar Li heard Aunt Liu's shrill cries, he frowned and scolded, "Shut up! Don't force me on New Year's Day! I'll send you back home right now!"
Aunt Liu knew that Political Commissar Li was not easy to talk to, so she immediately shut up her loud voice and dared not cry out loud anymore. She just shrugged her shoulders and kept wiping her tears with her sleeves.
When Wen Nuan turned around, she happened to see this scene. Compared to her initial unreasonable behavior, Aunt Liu was much kinder now.
It turns out that only by having higher-level leaders come over can we deal with these guys who bully the weak and fear the strong.
*
Wen Nuan followed the old man into the hospital, with Aunt Liu crying pitifully and the man surnamed Zhou begging for mercy behind them.
Mr. Zhao took Wen Nuan directly back to his office, and without saying anything, he took her pulse again.
Finally, she was given a urine test.
Mr. Zhao said: "It's nothing serious, but I still have to do a urine test to confirm it. Don't be so impulsive next time."
Wen Nuan smiled and explained, "When I was working in the kitchen, everyone taught me how to use a rolling pin. I'm fine."
She must have been sure that she would not harm the baby in her belly by doing this.
Moreover, every comrade in their kitchen team indeed has "unique skills".
A knife, a rolling pin, or even small items like chopsticks and forks, they are all weapons when you pick them up.
Wen Nuan was influenced by everything and only learned the basics.
Mr. Zhao glanced at her and said, "You said this could be dangerous, so you'd better be careful."
If such an accident happened to Wen Nuan right under his nose, he would have no face to stay here and would just retire.
Wen Nuan nodded obediently: "Okay, I understand, thank you, Doctor Zhao."
"Go, get a checkup." Mr. Zhao looked at Gu Qinglan, "Take your sister-in-law with you."
Probably because it was a holiday, Wen Nuan finished the examination almost without any problems. Originally, Mr. Zhao asked her to go back first, saying that he would give her the results at the staff quarters.
However, Wen Nuan wanted to wait for Gu Qinghan before going back together, so she sat in the hospital and waited.
While Wen Nuan was waiting for the result, Gu Qinglan was called away by Political Commissar Li's men. She sat in Mr. Zhao's office and peeled melon seeds for Lele.
The little one doesn’t know how to eat yet, so he just puts the seeds in his mouth and bites them, just to enjoy the taste.
Wen Nuan had nothing to do, so she peeled it for her and took the opportunity to see Mr. Zhao's working environment.
Probably because he took off his hat, people who came to see the old man were polite to him, otherwise they would not be like before, wanting to stay away from him.
Mr. Zhao basically knew the name of every patient who came to see him. He was neither overly enthusiastic nor overly polite.
At two o'clock, Gu Qinghan came over.
Even though it was such a cold day, there were beads of sweat on his forehead, and it was obvious that he had run.
Wen Nuan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face, then asked, "Is it done?"
"Well, I'll tell you slowly when we get home." Gu Qinghan slowly calmed down his breathing, then looked up and down at his wife worriedly and asked, "Are you okay? Just now they said that you beat that guy with a stick."
"Yeah." Wen Nuan smiled and nodded: "I'm fine. Doctor Zhao just checked my pulse and everything is fine."
Gu Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't be so impulsive next time. Just leave the action to me."
"Got it. I'm fine." Wen Nuan smiled at her and said, "I just did a urine test. The results should be out soon."
Gu Qinghan suddenly smiled and said, "No need to look, she is definitely pregnant."
Wen Nuan looked at him doubtfully.
Although she knew that she was definitely pregnant, after all, she could trust Mr. Zhao's medical skills, but she also wanted to know why Gu Qinghan said that.
Man, you piqued my curiosity!
"Doctor Zhao said that pregnancy can cause mood swings." Gu Qinghan raised his pretty eyebrows and said, "In the past, you would never have fought with others."
While the two were chatting and laughing, Gu Qinglan came in with a check-up form and said excitedly, "Brother, sister-in-law, you are really pregnant."
The two of them said in unison, "Got it."
Doctor Zhao saw that they had finished talking, so he said, "Now that the results are out, you should go back early to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner."
"Qinglan, you can take a holiday now. Come see me when you return to work on the third day of the New Year."
Gu Qinglan nodded with a smile: "I understand, Doctor Zhao."
Now, she is considered the old man's last disciple. After the New Year, she will study hard and make good achievements to show her sister-in-law.
Seeing that Mr. Zhao was still writing at his desk, Wen Nuan said, "Doctor Zhao, why don't you come over to our place after get off work to have a meal and have some fun together."
Doctor Zhao immediately looked up and smiled: "Comrade Wen Nuan, thank you for your kindness. I have already told the hospital leaders that we will go to the cafeteria to eat together later. You guys can go back now."
Wen Nuan didn't force it anymore and let Le Le say goodbye to the old man.
Lele was also very well behaved. Probably because she had just been fed a lot of melon seeds, she didn't make a fuss at the moment. She smiled and said, "Goodbye, Grandpa."
Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, see you Lele."
Wen Nuan taught her one more sentence in her ear, and then Le Le said in a baby voice: "Happy New Year, Grandpa, and good health."
This time, Mr. Zhao felt warm in his heart. He then thought of something and took out a red envelope from the drawer and gave it to her: "Grandpa also wishes you a happy new year and a healthy and happy growth."
The little guy got the red envelope, smiled even more happily, and said sweetly: "Thank you, Grandpa."
"Okay, go back and be careful on the road."
*
After leaving the hospital, Wen Nuan asked Gu Qinghan: "What about Aunt Liu and that man? Are we just going to let it go?"
Although this incident did not cause actual harm to Qinglan, in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, the political commissar will not take it lightly and will definitely deal with it.
Besides, the reputation of female comrades is very important. If everyone is like Aunt Liu in the future, bringing a man here casually and saying that she wants to see him, that would be terrible!
Gu Qinghan sneered, "The political commissar gave Zhao Dachui a severe scolding, and then Director Xu from Qinglan's hospital came over. Aunt Liu only revealed under questioning by her son and daughter-in-law that the man had given her a benefit. He gave her ten yuan for helping her find a partner, and also said that there would be a generous reward after the matter was completed, so Aunt Liu wanted to facilitate this marriage."
Wen Nuan cursed softly, "No wonder, it's still the money that's causing all this trouble!"
Gu Qinghan glanced at his wife, "Zhao Dachui and Director Xu have both promised the political commissar that they will send him back to his hometown immediately after the Chinese New Year."
"As for that cadre from Beijing, I called Beijing to learn about the situation. I heard that he is..." Having said this, Gu Qinghan paused, his face looking a little strange.
Wen Nuan turned her head to look at her husband, and waited anxiously for him to continue. Seeing that he looked embarrassed to speak, she asked, "What happened to that person?"
Gu Qinghan pursed his lips, then lowered his voice and said, "I heard that he was married before, but that lesbian said he was inhumane."
Then, Gu Qinghan corrected him, "It's not impossible, it's just difficult. After getting married a few times, they never touched each other again. Later, the husband's family kept saying that the lesbian couldn't get pregnant, and the lesbian couldn't get angry. She directly said that except for the month they got married, they never had sex again, so they divorced."
"But according to the gay man's relatives, friends and colleagues, he has always lived a healthy life, running every day, keeping a simple social circle, and has not had any ambiguous relationships with other lesbians."
After Wen Nuan heard what Gu Qinghan said, an idea came into her mind -
That guy, could it be that he likes guys
She doesn't discriminate against any sexual orientation. She has seen a lot in later life and is not surprised at all.
However, if he was a marriage scammer and had to trick her into coming to his house, that would be a different story.
No wonder he was so generous and gave Aunt Liu ten yuan to help her find a partner.
Otherwise, with his conditions, being a cadre and a Beijing native, even if he was not good-looking, there would be many female comrades flocking to him.
It is estimated that his reputation in Beijing was damaged, so he went outside Beijing.
Such men are usually a bit arrogant, and probably feel that if they find a country girl, they will be taken advantage of and lose face.
So we came to the North City troops.
If he were to find a girl from the military, it would not only help his career, but the couple wouldn't have to face each other every day, and they probably wouldn't be able to find out his true sexual orientation. It's likely that he just wanted to find a girl to carry on his family line.
If she had known this earlier, Wen Nuan would have definitely given him more than just that one blow!
Wen Nuan paused for a moment and asked, "That man is not from our North City unit, so I guess we can't deal with him, right?"
This time it was Gu Qinglan, and who knows which female comrade will be unlucky next time.
We definitely can't let him go like this!
Gu Qinghan met Wen Nuan's slightly annoyed look and said, "Don't worry, the political commissar has already sent someone to the Ministry of Commerce, and they will definitely be punished and demoted."
Wen Nuan nodded and said thoughtfully, "Is Qinglan okay?"
Gu Qinglan was originally in the same department as Director Xu, but because of this incident, Director Xu's job has become so difficult, and it is unknown whether he will have any opinions about Gu Qinglan.
Gu Qinglan, who was holding Lele's hand, smiled and said, "I'm not afraid. I'm upright, not afraid of my shadow. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Besides, I will go to Dr. Zhao's department after the New Year, so don't worry, sister-in-law."
Hearing this, Wen Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. With the old man around, she didn't have to worry about Qinglan being bullied.
Gu Qinghan looked at the sky which was getting darker and darker, and felt that the snow seemed to be getting heavier, so he walked to Wen Nuan, stretched his body and picked her up.
Wen Nuan was caught off guard and lost her balance. As the world spun around, she subconsciously cried out, "Ah—"
Then he grabbed Gu Qinghan's clothes tightly and cursed: "You scared me to death, let me down!"
Gu Qinghan curled his lips and smiled: "The road is slippery in the snow, I will carry you back."
When Wen Nuan heard what the man said, her face immediately turned red, "No, there's nothing wrong with me, I can walk by myself!"
Seeing that he turned a deaf ear to her, Wen Nuan became so anxious that her entire face turned red as if blood was about to drip out. She reminded him: "Be careful or the patrol team will come to arrest you later!"
The military manages the conduct of men and women more strictly than anywhere else.
In the end, the man still held her and strode forward. He only lowered his eyes slightly to look at her and found that his wife's pretty face was already red, like a tempting cherry.
He said in a hoarse voice: "It's snowing and the roads are slippery. You're pregnant now. Am I not allowed to help a pregnant woman?"
The urine test form is still in his pocket. If anyone wants to catch him, just throw the form out and show it to him.
Gu Qinglan laughed and said, "That's right. I'm a nurse. I can testify to you that my sister-in-law is not feeling well and needs help. It's reasonable."
Listening to the nonsense of the two siblings, Wen Nuan was too embarrassed to face anyone. She buried her head in the man's shoulder and said in a muffled voice: "Then you should leave quickly. It's so embarrassing."
Gu Qinghan couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips and said to Lele: "Lele, follow daddy's footsteps, let's go home."
When Lele heard his father say this, he pulled Gu Qinglan's hand, widened his big black eyes, and said, "Auntie—"
Gu Qinglan thought the child wanted melon seeds, so she said, "You've eaten all the melon seeds. I don't have any more."
The little one's hands were so small that it seemed like she had grabbed a handful, but in fact there were only about ten. She peeled them while walking and ate them all in one go, and all went into the little one's stomach.
But Lele just laughed and said to Gu Qinglan: "I want to be like my mother. Aunt, please carry me back!"
"Auntie, hold me—"
"Aunt, please hold me—"
Gu Qinglan looked at the cute little girl and immediately softened her heart. She squatted down and said, "My dear, don't you see how heavy you are now? Your aunt can only carry you on her back."
The little guy succeeded. With one jump, he jumped directly onto Gu Qinglan's back, and as a result, both of them fell directly into the snow pile.
"Gu Wanyue, don't jump up directly!"
The little guy sat in the snow, looking at Gu Qinglan's body and head covered with snow, and laughed, "Auntie has turned into a big snowman!"
Seeing that the child didn't fall, Gu Qinglan grabbed a handful of snow and threw it over, "Haha, Lele is also a snowman."

Originally, Wen Nuan was going to attend the New Year's Eve party to receive praise from Teacher Xu, but she happened to find out that she was pregnant, so she didn't go.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Commander Xu's assistant brought her a certificate of honor.
Wen Nuan didn't expect to receive a certificate at this age, so she put the certificate in the photo frame and placed it together with the family photo.
There are a few more family photos of them now, some with Qinglan and some with Commander Lu.
Wen Nuan knew that Gu Qinghan had called his grandfather, so she thought about finding time tomorrow to wish him a happy new year, so she was not in a hurry today.
After arriving home, Wen Nuan discussed it with Sister Guihua. Since it happened to be Zhuzi's 100th day in the next few days, they planned to invite Sister Juxiang to come along so that the three families could have the New Year's Eve dinner together.
Sister Juxiang had no problem with it, and brought her three children, as well as Captain Zhao and her mother-in-law.
They put two tables together, and the children ate on the coffee table, while the adults sat around in a big circle.
The snow continued to fall until they had their New Year's Eve dinner at home.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner was prepared by several men. Wen Nuan and other female compatriots did not do anything during the whole process, but just gave some instructions occasionally.
The New Year's Eve dinner is very rich, including steamed fish, goose stewed in iron pot, mutton and sea cucumber soup, spicy fried dried seafood, pork stewed with vermicelli, braised lamb chops in sauce, steamed chicken with mushrooms, pot-fried pork...
A total of eight meat dishes and two green vegetables make up the perfect New Year's Eve dinner.
Moreover, each portion is very large, so even if three families get together, they can still eat to their heart's content.
After all the dishes were served, everyone raised their glasses and said, "In the new year, I wish you all the best."
After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Gu Qinglan took Lele out to the outer courtyard and played firecrackers with the children in the family compound.
Wen Nuan sat on the cushioned sofa in Gu Qinghan's arms, looking through the window at Lele who was having fun outside.
Wen Nuan watched the child and Qing Lan happily playing in the snow and couldn't help but mutter, "How childish!"
Gu Qinghan agreed with his wife: "Yes, two childish ghosts."
Wen Nuan sighed softly: "But... I want to play too."
Gu Qinghan thought about it, then took the scarf and hat beside him and put them on her: "Come on."
Wen Nuan looked at him in surprise, thinking that Gu Qinghan was afraid that she would fall and didn't want her to go out.
"Don't you want to play?" Gu Qinghan handed her the gloves and said, "Put them on quickly. Let's go set off fireworks with Lele."
Wen Nuan glanced at him and said, "I thought you were afraid that I would fall again."
Gu Qinghan took his coat and glanced at her: "I'm here, what are you afraid of?"
So Wen Nuan took Gu Qinghan's hand and walked outside.
When Lele saw his parents coming, he excitedly waved the squid in his hand.
Lele shouted excitedly: "Look, Mom, aren't my fireworks beautiful?"
Wen Nuan looked at the child's smiling face and nodded: "Beautiful!"
Lele handed Wen Nuan an unburned firework with a smile and said in a baby voice, "Mom, I'll give you one, you can burn one too."
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "But Mom wants two!"
Lele directly handed all the fireworks in his hand to Wen Nuan and said, "Here you go!"
After giving Wen Nuan the fireworks, Le Le walked over to Gu Qing Han, raised his little head and said to him, "Dad, this is for you."
Gu Qinghan frowned as he looked at the two small firecrackers in his hand.
Why are his small firecrackers
Lele looked at him with a smile and said softly, "Dad, you light the firecrackers for me, and Mom, you light the fireworks for me."
Hearing this, Gu Qinghan smiled lovingly at the child: "Okay."
